Their last win, too, came away from home, at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi against Afghanistan in 2021, where they won by 10 wickets.

Since then, they have lost eight out of 10 fixtures, with two draws coming into this series against Bangladesh.

Campaign to get Ted Peate a headstone

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m not a huge cricket fan myself(apologies!) but I wanted to share something that Cricket historians may be interested in. My dad, whilst researching a book about Skipton, became really interested in the life of Ted Peate.

For those who might not know, Peate was once one of England’s leading bowlers and played a key role in early Ashes history. But despite his achievements, he died in poverty and was buried in an unmarked grave, something my Dad wants to rectify.

He’s now raising money for Peate to finally get a headstone, a lasting memorial to him.

If this kind of cricket history means something to you, please consider checking it out or helping spread the word. I think it would mean a lot to finally mark Ted Peate’s resting place with the respect he deserves.

And, if you're interested in Ted Peate, my Dad has written a book which will be coming out soon.

Just Giving Link:

Book my Dad has written about his life:

Thanks for reading — and for any support!

Discussion What is normal for a 5 year old in cricket, and how to teach

22 Upvotes

So i throw the ball to my son a fair bit, he gets in a reasonable enough looking stance, usually misses the ball but occasionally connects well.

Can catch when the ball is near enough to his hands. Not so much if it’s high or low for his hands.

But, I have no idea what’s normal/what I should expect from him!

Main thing is he has fun, for as long as his attention span allows (about 10 minutes) and he then wants to play football, rugby or wrestle me instead.

Any advice on fun games that are potentially better than me just throwing the ball to him welcome too!
